Additionally, the ic-37 includes fuel level and DEF level gauges, and keyless start technology.

The ic-37 offers additional alongside large capacity tanks for onboard fuel, freshwater, and corresponding holding tanks that allow owners to extend their adventures. Although shorter in length, the ic-37 maintains the same luxury and craftsmanship standards of Foretravel's larger footprint models.
